AN225 Damaged at Ras Al Khaimah

I heard an unconfirmed report that the sole AN225 was damaged
at Ras Al Khaimah. It apparently suffered a hyrdraulic failure whilst
opening the nose that caused two nose gear doors to be torn away
from the fuselage causing the floor to suffer severe damage and
sharpnel damage to the wings. Anybody else heard of this??
I would imagine replacement parts would be very difficult to find.
